¡Saludos y bienvenidos a la clase de español!

Students
and Parents,

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to my Spanish class for this
2015-16 school year. I am so pleased to have you in class and that you have
chosen to learn the Spanish language in Spanish 1 or are continuing to study it in Spanish 2

There are many benefits to learning
the Spanish language! Some of these benefits are:

Study of a
foreign language is beneficial for those students who plan to attend college.

A better
understanding of English – learning Spanish grammar reinforces knowledge of our
first language.

Getting to
know your neighbors – as the Spanish speaking population in our country grows
at a rapid pace we now have the opportunity to use Spanish in our own
community.

Foreign
languages increase understanding of different Cultures.

Enriches
travel experience to Spanish speaking countries.

And,
the knowledge of a foreign language is a beneficial skill in the job market

Parents or Guardians, if you have questions or concerns
about your child’s progress, please call 729- 6116 extension 1119 or contact me by e-mail (mjohnson@fairburyjeffs.org). I will be posting weekly lesson plans on my
Google site. Please keep in mind lesson plans are tentative and can change day to
day.

I look forward to getting to know all of my students! Make
the most of the semester, commit to reviewing vocabulary on a daily basis, and
enjoy your time in class by speaking the language as often as possible!
